The position on the amount of available funding for a 2018 National Reserve is currently being finalised. This involves assessment of the funding that remains in the National Reserve fund following allocations to successful applicants under the 2017 National Reserve and also the proceeds from clawback on the sale of entitlements without land and the value of unused entitlements that revert to the National Reserve fund. It expected that a final decision on a National Reserve for 2018 will be taken shortly.
